【正文】 pictures, real objects and gestures in teaching are effective and directly observable which function not only as explanation but also as vivid illustration of the direct relationship between language items and the real physical world. Also that they can visualize the necessary situations in which meaningful exercises can be conducted, turning mechanical drills into lifelike practice. According to the author’s practice in senior high school, the following points are noted in employ directly observable means of teaching:1) Simple, vivid, typical ways of instruction。2) Video, music, films, puters and other modern means should be introduced into the classroom in addition to selfmake teaching aid. Comparing methodComparing is one of the basic methods to learn foreign language. It requires teachers try their best to inspire students to discover the relation and connection between the pronunciation and pronunciation, between the word and word, sentence and sentence, therefore, to help students to associate, and to train students’ ability to observe, to analyze, to solve problem, even to foster students’ ability to study on their own. For instance, when “sometime” was mentioned, teacher may list “ sometimes”, ”some time”, ” some times”, then ask the students to tell the difference between them. Through the parison of these words or phrases, students are able to master the usage of them. 6. Suggestions on applying heuristic teaching methodsIndeed, heuristic teaching is ahead by a huge stride pared to the traditional teaching modes, but it is necessary to point out that it is still not perfect. That is to say, some disadvantages inevitably go along with its advantages. For example, some students find it’s beyond them to prehend what they are taught in class, while some students do not need instructions from the teacher at all. In addition, teacher’s direct munication is limited to some of the students, and teacher’s instructions and teaching take up too much time of the class, leaving little time to students to react. The heuristic teaching has been familiar with for the general teachers, but many teachers not truly prehend the essence of the heuristic teaching, as a result, students couldn’t be inspire in the teaching process. Therefore, the teacher should pay special attention to the following points. Teacher should prepare for lessons more fullyIt increases the amount of the work of the teachers, because the teacher has to make a neat plan before hand besides what’s in the teaching material. It requires the teacher to bee an encyclopedia or a learned scholar who can cope with every question from the students. Therefore, it is more demanding for teacher to prepare the lessons. Students should be the center in Heuristic teaching, with most of the work in class to be done by students rather than teacher. Therefore, teacher should spend much time in studying the teaching materials and objects to be taught to make a good arrangement of the teaching procedures. Never only to take heuristic teaching for askanswer teaching modeWe should also pay attention to the methods and skills in heuristic teaching. Ask and answer is not the only magic weapon of Heurism, although it seemingly livens up the atmosphere of the class. Actually too much askand answer often ignores the quality and the objects of the questions and leaves an impression of monotony to us, producing little or even the opposite effects we wish. What’s more, the questions should differ from each other in the degree of difficulty. For example, in a chain of questions, the first two questions should be superficial and easy to answer. But the last few questions should be more difficult。 even the smarter students find it demands much thinking to find out the answers which might not be the correct or accurate ones. It is the consciously asked questions which are easily ignored by students in the course of lesson preparation that help achieve the goal of explanations to the whole class. To make the teaching more interestingTeaching is a science and also an art, so it should be full of knowledge, science and fun. In heuristic teaching, the teaching explains profound things in simple ways, turning stiffness into liveliness, baldness into vividness, and boredom into devotion. The teacher should try his or her best to liven up the air of the class. He or she is supposed to pay attention to the spirit of every student, reminding and giving instructions to those in low spirit to let them understand English is not as hard as they thought to be. To encourage students timelyTeaching is a reactive activity and produces positive effects only on the premise of good cooperation between teacher and students. Good relationship between them guarantees the successful pletion of the teaching tasks. If a student has the feeling of resistance against teacher, then he or she will probably resist all the subjects taught by teacher, which will directly cause negative impact on his or her credits of the subjects. The teacher should have a good control of the questions, raising different questions to different students. To good students, the questions should be more difficult。 to the laggard students, the questions should be easier to answer. All in all, the teacher should make all of his or her students involved in the class, giving them more confidence7. ConclusionThe paper discussed some causes leading to English class boredom, for example, nonreactive, over analytic and spoonfeeding methods, and analyzed the bad results from them. The paper also explored the advantages of heuristic teaching and the mon models, and some suggestions on applying heuristic teaching.Heuristic teaching is being acquainted to more and more teaching staff. However, the instant positive effects by heuristic teaching method can hardly be seen. Of course, heuristic teaching also has some inadequate aspects teacher should pay attention to it. What’s m
